that's hectares in a month in the workshop of a kharkiv man, they sewed 80 sets of belts for shoulder systems, now he is working on the production of camouflage ammunition for the military, the man just sits next to him in the bushes and lies down all the manufactured equipment vladyslav hands over to the military and is forced to sell some of it to pay for the material and pay the wages of the seamstresses ivanna gavrylyuk tv channel live colleagues with the voice of omeraki 30 minutes will be at their disposal further at 23:00 we will continue so don't go anywhere billions of dollars the day before in the evening, the bill was supported by the house of representatives of the congress, with 368 congressmen voting against 57. commenting on the vote , the speaker of the house of representatives, pilos, noted that this aid package will help ukraine protect not only its nation, but

also democracy for the whole world. they appreciate the strong bipartisan support for the president's proposal to provide much-needed security, economic, humanitarian and food aid to ukraine throughout the region and around the world president biden has previously stated that washington cannot afford to delay this vital effort, so the house is calling on the senate to approve the $40 billion in aid as soon as possible and send a bill for the president's signature. when can this happen and what is included in the new aid package about it let's talk with my colleague who joins the broadcast from the senate katya congratulations i congratulate you yulia from the beginning of the full-scale russian crown the united states has already allocated billions of dollars in aid to ukraine, a new package aid that was supported in the house of representatives provides for 40 billion dollars of additional support,

katya, tell me what this funding will go for and whether it is all purely ukrainian. that's right, yulia . almost immediately after the vote, the official website of the white house published a statement in which it thanked the congressmen for supporting the presidential initiative, in addition, on this website also made public the information that within the framework of this financial aid defense equipment will be provided for ukraine, which includes artillery as well as ammunition and armored vehicles, also according to the reuters publication, within the framework of this financial aid, six billion dollars of defense aid for ukraine will be allocated, almost $9 billion for the renewal of resources of the united states of america and directly supporting the american military on the territory of nato member countries, as well as four billion dollars for the

program of foreign military financing and as well as a limit of four billion dollars for the work of the european command. finally, earlier in a comment for the voice of america, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, oksana markarova, said that as part of this financial assistance, defensive weapons will also be allocated as part of the lend-lease program. you know that the vote in the house of representatives is again there is not enough strong support from both parties, republicans and democrats, and the speaker proposes to listen to the need to vote and support this bill. house of representatives and congress nancy posy putin is desperately increasing his company of terror and brutality in ukraine, so time is of the essence right now, so we were very happy to hear that we can immediately proceed with the consideration of this bill so that it will pass further to the senate and then get to the table of the president so that the aid reaches

the people of ukraine and eastern europe because time is now critically important and earlier the biden administration spoke about the fact that the current funds for aid to ukraine may run out as early as 19 there are eight days left in may. how quickly can the senate approve this aid and can there actually be any delays? the problem is that so far there is no information on the official websites of the senate about the day and time of voting for this package . it can happen already tonight , which means that already today the leader of the democrats in patron saint chuck-shomer published a statement in which he called on the senate to support this bill and noted that the time is now very important and also noted that financial assistance was allocated through combaiden for ukraine a few months ago is already coming to an end, so now it is urgent to support this bill from two parties, in turn, and republicans, and in particular, the leader of the

republican minority in the senate , mitch mcconnell, also made a statement yesterday, in which he noted that it was important for americans that this package of aid for ukraine should pass separately from any other financial aid, in particular, it was about the probability that was previously publicized in the mass media that the package of aid to ukraine would go together with support the countermeasures against covid in the united states of america , what did the republicans oppose, he offers to listen to the speech of the mcconnell ball yesterday, just now . i think we all agree that the most important thing that is happening in the world right now is the war in ukraine. last week, i had the opportunity to call the president and ask that the package of financial aid to ukraine was adopted separately from all other initiatives and as soon as possible the president called me back in about 15 minutes and agreed that the aid to ukraine should be voted separately and how as soon as possible, i think we are on this path

, discussions are currently ongoing between members of the house and senate signing committees regarding the details of this document well, we know that the house of representatives voted for this aid separately from the aid to fight covid-19 katya one more question 30 seconds in we still have some more meetings on the capital hill, we should expect regarding ukraine, today and tomorrow i will note that tomorrow at least two meetings will be held in the senate committee on foreign affairs and in particular it is said there about the support of ukraine, so this is noted, and here it may be worth emphasizing that the issue of ukraine is a problem that happens constantly and is constantly raised, despite the statements that we all know about . kateryna lisova was in contact with the senate. russia does not want to enter into a military confrontation with nato.

such assessments were shared with the lawmakers by the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, answering the congressmen's questions. he also stated that the russians' use of hypersonic weapons in it does not mean that the russians can launch a nuclear attack on ukraine. he also said that hypersonic missiles did not have a significant effect on the course of the war in ukraine. you say that putin, because he uses hypersonic weapons, will use nuclear weapons. he used hypersonic weapons a few weeks ago . i think he is trying to create a certain effect. this weapon moves at high speed it is very hard to shoot down but that didn't change the course of the war he has a choice he can launch cyber attacks he can use chemical weapons he can resort to things that now everyone is watching to see if he will decide to use them, but i don't think that this will push him to use nuclear weapons. today, in the sanat

vladimir putin, and it is important to support them in that immediately after the beginning of the invasion of russia on the territory of ukraine, we interrupted the 30-year sister region relations between the state of maryland and the leningrad region. i ordered all state agencies to immediately review and terminate any procurement contracts and relations with russian organizations due to aggression against ukraine russia is becoming a country in exile , severing all possible relations and losing long-term contracts at various levels, and at night the isolation of sergey livianisimov is deepening sokolov oleksiy kovalenko dmytro savchuk voice of america canada allocated 245 million dollars of humanitarian aid to ukraine at the beginning of the war, as well as more than 131 million dollars of military aid. last weekend , prime minister of canada justin trydon, deputy prime minister khrystia freeland, and minister of

foreign affairs meleni jolie visited kyiv . and announced the provision of an additional 50 million dollars in military aid to ukraine. what else should ukraine expect from canada ? the head of the friendship group of canada with ukraine from baker's active lobbying two weeks ago, canada recognized the actions of russia in ukraine as genocide, it is happening in ukraine and it is very important that the world recognizes that canada recognized that this is genocide, it requires us to take concrete steps or are you fake with weapons or sanctions, diplomatically, so on, so that ukraine wins this war, the decision to recognize russia's action as genocide was supported by all political parties that are members of the parliament, james bezan, a conservative mp who also has ukrainian roots and is in

opposition to the authorities draws attention to the fact that providing support to ukraine is an issue that unites the political forces of canada assistance to ukraine both in the military and humanitarian spheres. we stand in solidarity with ukraine and pray for peace, but most importantly we are pressuring the government to do more. directions - this is the provision of weapons in the canadian budget, which was recently presented by the government for these needs, an additional 500 million dollars has been laid before this, canada has already provided weapons worth uah 100 million, most of this money will be used for the purchase of weapons, because canada does not have weapons already in place, where can they be transferred, but god shows how much canada has given, more or less, everything is possible, it has. i

know that the minister of defense of ukraine is in constant contact with our ministerial defense, and so that she , er, we know canada knows what ukraine is asking for that she needs you zaan believes that canada can be a leader and implement military solutions, he and his political force offered to help ukraine organize safe humanitarian corridors to help people in cities that are under siege, it is necessary to provide these communities with humanitarian aid because they do not have food, medicine and water, for this it is necessary to gain control over the sky over these territories , this can be done in a coalition with countries that wish to provide ukraine with more air assets for defense we have all signed up to the united nations doctrine of the obligation to defend and this is the right of all states we are working hard to find other surplus assets that we have in canada we have several fleets of armored vehicles that are

about to be decommissioned we offered the parliament to give them to ukraine. baker adds that canada is already lobbying for the deepening of economic sanctions, particularly in the banking sector, so that all russian banks are cut off from the swift system. ottawa also conducted personal sanctions against russians, and in the new budget there is a mechanism that allows you to confiscate the property of these people, sell it and give funds for the reconstruction of ukraine. the first country that does this, and you may have read in the news, the only thing is that canada is trying to convince its other countries to do the same, because you can imagine how much money we could we collect for the construction of ukraine if we could sell all this property around the world or in those countries where there are sanctions against russia and use canada's financial support for this in the new budget, 1 billion dollars have been laid in this direction money will go to ukraine through the international monetary

fund, a separate front for work with refugees and temporarily displaced persons, canada has already allocated 200 million dollars for humanitarian aid to those who remained in ukraine and those who are in europe, in addition, canada accepts refugees here to canada canada constantly gives up deposits of 120 million dollars just so that ukrainians may have always needed a visa to come to canada , but canada very quickly reduced the requirements for visas to us it was possible to get it somewhere and there is also a humanitarian one, let’s say, for example, help when people come to canada. i pushed hard for it, because here the ropes want to help ukrainians in the ukrainian language, not only those of ukrainian origin like me, but all the ropes from announced that canada will pay through government aid, but also through a grant from the canadians so that 10,000 ukrainians could come so that the

flights would be paid first for the war on the canadian-ukrainian emergency travel permit program, which gives ukrainians an extended temporary status resident and allows them to work and study in canada, almost 185,000 people have applied, more than 72,000 applications have already been approved iryna solomko voice of america putin's war threatens food security in the world, the president of the united states, joe biden, spoke about this today, speaking to american farmers, and russian warships in black the sea prevents the export of ukrainian grain donetsk countries of the world, and the brutality of russian troops on the ground prevents sowing , the president emphasized, therefore, the united states has to help guarantee food security and prevent hunger in the world - said biden, due to the russian war and hostilities, ukraine will not be able to deliver more than 90 million tons of raw materials to consumers , the

prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal said earlier about this in an interview with voice of america russian aggression blocks food exports from ukraine, myroslava gongadze will tell. ukraine is one of the largest suppliers of food in the world . european, african and asian countries import ukrainian grain, corn, wheat, sunflower oil and others products, however, due to active hostilities and the partial occupation of russia, it is becoming increasingly difficult for ukrainian farmers to plant or deliver crops beyond ukrainian borders, in an interview with voice of america, prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal said that the russian invasion of ukraine seriously disrupted local and international supply chains and the consequence of this may be a global food crisis, we understand that if we do not unblock our sea ports - this will lead not only to a food crisis this year and possible famine in many countries on the african chaz continents but it will also

lead to a food crisis next year our warehouses are still full of this year's harvest so this year even if we get 90% of the harvest there will be no way to store this new harvest in ukraine in the last 30 years ukraine and the black sea region in general have become an important world a supplier of olive oil, some regions such as north africa and the near east import more than 50% of all their grain from ukraine and russia, mostly wheat and barley; in addition, ukraine is an important supplier of corn for the european union and china, as well as for several north african markets, in particular egypt and lilies. so, in its struggle for existence, the ukrainian authorities are trying to protect not only their land and people, but also to save the country's economy, as well as deliver the necessary food to the world with this premium prime minister of ukraine appealed to the international community our partners we need urgent

support from our partners, they discussed it and maybe some humanitarian mission will be created, maybe under protection maybe some kind will be created the alliance that organizes these blue or green corridors for the export of crops and grain from ukraine to countries that are waiting for it during a recent visit to poland, the us ambassador to the united nations food and agriculture organization, precious mccain, outlined the scope of this issue, this is a ripple effect that spreads throughout of the world to find seeds now to make sure that we can grow a crop the crop is now in the ground but we may not be able to get it due to the mining of the fields due to all the other problems that arise it may be to harvest part of the harvest, but it will be impossible to harvest the entire harvest, and this is a huge global problem, experts agree that the russian invasion of ukraine creates serious risks for

global food supplies, and the international response to the war must include, among other things, the challenges of global food security myroslava gongadze voice of america warsaw first full-scale russian war on february 24, unesco registered at least 127 cases of damage or complete destruction of cultural objects on the territory of ukraine to save cultural heritage from the attacks of the russian army in ukraine, international organizations are now helping volunteers and even it specialists from silicon valley why saving works of art is extremely important for the victory of ukraine, says maria prus, this is a dramatic theater in mariupol built in 1960 on march 16 when there about a thousand people were hiding, the russian aviation dropped an aerial bomb on it

, this library in chernihiv also suffered from russian missile attacks. in general, according to unesco, as a result of full-scale invasion of russia in ukraine destroyed or damaged 54 churches 11 museums 15 monuments seven libraries - 26 historical buildings and 14 cultural centers to save thousands of other cultural objects in ukraine is helped by unesco and the danish branch of the blue shield committee, this is an international organization that protects cultural heritage in the event of armed conflicts and natural disasters today the goal of creating 3d copies of historical objects in ukraine destroyed buildings this symbol of a bright future is impossible to destroy the country's identity, its history after the second world war, many european cities were completely destroyed, but then the city center was restored thanks to our project. we hope to save as many as possible three copies of buildings and monuments so that after the war in ukraine, too, there will be

an opportunity to restore everything, the project was named bkp ukraine what does a backup copy mean in translation , american developers of a smartphone program that performs the function of a 3d scanner, the polychem application, took part in it and collect several frames of the object from different angles, these files are saved in the application and then a three-dimensional model of the object is created from them, this system is very simple, even if it is a large building, you need dimensional images, unlike simple photos or videos, much better reflect the object project, with the efforts of volunteers in ukraine, it has already been possible to collect several tens of 3d copies of historical objects, but to participate in the project, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local authorities, we did not want to ask for this from everyone in a row, because it is a bit risky firstly, a person once again exposes himself to danger by being in a war zone; secondly, people

may have suspicions. participation in the project is now unesco and the blue shield. also deals with shipments to ukraine of packaging material necessary for saving works of art, we deliver packaging materials, boxes, cleaning products and other things necessary for ukrainians to museums for the preservation of exhibits, for example to the art museum of ukraine in kyiv. we send trucks directly from denmark in normal times, of course, museums do not need these materials in quantity, but now they need to save all their collections, before they needed 10 boxes per month, but now there are thousands other volunteer movements are also helping to save the heritage of ukraine, a student at stanford university and the founder of the online project about the history of ukrainian culture , shedeus, kateryna buchachka, is one of them, she grew up in

in kyiv, but in recent years he has been living in the usa after the start of the war in ukraine. all the artifacts they were looking for fireproof cabinets with humidity and temperature control i helped organize the delivery of this and other equipment attempts to destroy cultural heritage fall on the list of war crimes the crimes of putin's army, experts say, because the purposeful destruction of monuments is a violation of the 54th hague convention comes to mind. when you think about war, it is saving lives, but the country's cultural heritage is also very important. scattered perceives ukraine as a sovereign state that has its own cultural heritage. that is why it is especially

important to preserve artifacts, works of art, sights and buildings now, that is why saving historical monuments and cultural heritage of ukraine will bring the country closer to victory, say project participants maria prus karina bufferajan voice of america and that's the end of it thank you for watching marika's voice in ukrainian also join our broadcasts of voice of america briefings at 18:00 and 23:35 kyiv time see you there good luck, dear viewers , once again we welcome everyone we continue joint live tv broadcasts labor test today we work until 12 midnight before the start of a new day of ukrainian resistance to russian aggression and as always, every day we have the final address of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi where is he sums up certain results and talks about the most important events of the day. what is going on today? such an address is ready. let's listen to it together . our country has serious news in syria, and it
